The dialogue in the passage shows the following about the main character Walter Mitty:

C. He is awkward and absent-minded.

Walter Mitty is the main character in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," a short story by James Thurber.

Mitty is constantly daydreaming as an escape from his boring life.

An ordinary man, in his dreams Mitty sees himself as a brave hero who saves everyone.

In real life, he has no special skills and, what's worse, he seems awkward and absent-minded due to his excessive daydreaming.

He forgets to do the things he is supposed to, drifting off with his imagination.

The dialogue in the passage is evidence of that. He is repeating "puppy biscuit" in attempt to focus on what his wife has asked him to buy.
The people who pass by him think Mitty is a weird man.
